End of the Road

I've had a lot of fun with this card, and I think it is a slodi include in decks that can handle drawing it early. This is now easier to do with access to red, as the Survivor card pool has a very fledged out "Discard" archetype. It also has two relevant traits in Insight and Spirit, which are constantly getting more support.

However, I have also come to like this card in general in lower player counts where additional actoins are more valuable. I do think it is able to pull its weight, and more people should try it out.

Robert Castaigne

You can use Robert's ability to shot and then put .32 Colt into play. Shot couple more times and use .32 Colt's ability (by paying 1 resource) to take it back to hand, where it's ready to be used by Robert next turn.

It's possible but costly to repeat it each turn. This could be mitigated by shooting Colt at least once before returning it to hand, if you're [Michael McGlen that gives 1 resource (2 if combined with [Stylish Coat).

Cool card but both versions of Castaigne are a flavor fail in my opinion. Great card, great ability, but the ability is limited to 1 handed firearms. What's Robby doing with that Tommy gun?? Is /that/ how he's boosting your combat in between shooting pistols for you? Overlooked power combo: he can generate infinite aether by holding your upgraded shotcaster for you. — Bloodw4ke · 82 8/15/25

This is part of my mass deletion for the reviews I have written as I am no longer proud of them of what I have wrote and I feel uncomfortable leaving them up for everyone to see.

Wrong Place, Right Time moves damage as well. Resolute Hank can use it. — MrGoldbee · 1567 6/29/25

And Devil, yeah, yeah. There's lots to say about Hank the Tank. Obviously this card is good. IMO this card The Home Front, only better, and that one was already strong. What I am wondering about is your assessment of "Get over here!", because you cannot use a weapon with that card. — AlderSign · 469 6/29/25

Oh, whoops! I'm too used to playing it like Nathaniel Cho. — fishingbrogl · 21 6/29/25

Let's just say I spend much more time brewing and reviewing than actually playing the game. — fishingbrogl · 21 6/29/25

Does it pair with scavenging? — MrGoldbee · 1567 6/27/25

I always forget about Scavenging. Yes, I would assume it does work with Scavenging because of the timing. — fishingbrogl · 21 6/27/25

It sure does. It has almost the same timing as the AoD-Yorick-loop, people have used for ages. Afaik, Scavenging is after ST.6 (determine success), Yorick after ST.7 (defeat = apply skill test result), but that does not matter, the cost to discard the item has been piad, before the skill test even initiated. — Susumu · 389 6/28/25

Psychic Sensitivity

I presume this card can be used to cancel Prophecy of the End?

Am I mistaken? (Edit, yes I think I am... see below)

Chatgpt states:

Interaction Summary Psychic Sensitivity requires:

An investigator is drawing an encounter card.

A copy of that same encounter card is already beneath Gloria Goldberg.

Prophecy of the End is an encounter card, so it qualifies.

If someone draws a Prophecy of the End and one is already beneath Gloria, Psychic Sensitivity can:

Be played in response to the draw.

Cancel all of Prophecy's effects (i.e., the Surge and Forced effect).

Discard both the drawn copy and the one beneath Gloria.

Allow Gloria to draw 1 card as a bonus.

I'm not talking about cancelling the card if found via search. It might behoove you to cancel the actual surge drawing of the card to both skip the surge AND remove a copy beneath Gloria. I believe it might be the case that surge is a keyword ability and not an effect, so you're probably always surging. It might be since there is no effect to cancel, you cannot cancel Prophecy of the End with this card?

Edit: Our understanding is that surge is a keyword ability and not effect. Therefore, the card has no effects to cancel, which means Psychic Sensitivity cannot be played to cancel the lack of effect. This is our interpretation, and not an official ruling.

Who cares what predictive text thinks? — MrGoldbee · 1567 6/23/25

As, essentially, always, ChatGPT is, in this case, wrong. Effects say "A card effect is any effect that arises from the resolution of ability text printed on, or gained by, a card.". And keyword says "A keyword is a card ability which conveys specific rules to its card". Therefore, keywords are abilities, and the result of resolving abilities are effects and can thus be cancelled. — NarkasisBroon · 15 6/23/25
